Any chance he makes it to the majors before August 1?
Granted, he hasn't exactly been tearing the cover off the ball so far this year, but he has posted a line of .291/.354/.520 in AA Mississippi so far this year. He's always been labelled as a "toolsy" guy, and he started actually putting together the tools with production last year.
Though not anywhere near as hyped, his situation seems eerily similar to Frenchy's in 2005. He's in a Braves organization that is not afraid to push prospects to fill needs in the bigs, and LF is a gaping hole in the Braves OF right now. He's been producing at a decent clip, and the opportunity is there. The only difference I can see is that Atlanta has a good trading chip available this time in Salty who could return a really good LF (Griffey would be a good fit, assuming Cincy picks up a large chunk of his salary).
What does everyone think Jones' chances of "pulling a Frenchy" are?
